Wife, daughter and I set out from Shilshole around 5PM and headed to Jeff Head to fish the tide (high tide around 7pm), lines in the water around 5:45. Trolled with the tide from presidents point down to the southeast corner of Jeff Head staying in the 100-170 feet of water band, then worked that area during the slack and headed back North as the tide began to fall. Picked up a 29 inch hatchery chinook at 160 on the wire in 165 feet of water around 7:20. I was trolling 2mph over the ground, fishing a white coho killer 42 inches behind a red racer flasher and a 16lb ball. Continued to fish until 8:30, then headed home. This was the only fish for around 3 hours fishing... not a single shaker, dogfish, rockfish etc which is notable because I've been picking those up like crazy in my last few chinook outings.
Great evening on the water!
